Shayaa Abraham-Joseph, otherwise known as 21 Savage, has won the title of top songwriter of the week. He replaces Jahseh Onfroy, who held the title for the past three weeks. Abraham-Joseph’s co-writing credit on Post Malone’s Rockstar (an unexpected hit from Malone, who had been written off as a novelty in 2016), rose to the No 2 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 following its release last week. Abraham-Joseph’s rise is aided by his song Bank Account and intrigue surrounding his various run-ins with the law.

Every track charting on the UK’s Official Singles Chart for the week is given a point value, which is then split equally among the songwriters listed for each, and then ranked in order of those totals.
